Cased Sixteenth Plate Early Tintype Portrait of Soulful Looking Man in Hat antique painting on cloth Another small collection of Victorian

Another small collection of Victorian hair locks

I found this lovely silver mouse digging through a bin in a shop in southern Maine where I have

One more piece on either side and two pieces for the base

Cased Sixteenth Plate Early Tintype Portrait of Soulful Looking Man in Hat antique painting on cloth Another small collection of VictorianThis one is very much about the whole package for me the very small case, with the gold trim around the interior edges and embossed flower on the exterior, and then his very tightly cropped, mugshot like face. Of the scale and manner made to be carried around close to one's heart during the subject's long absences in order to keep them very close and not to forget what they look like!:) Or so I imagine. Feels very immediate and also very dear. 2" x 1
